System Requirements SAS Profitability Management 2.1 This document provides the requirements for installing and running SAS Profitability Management 2.1 software. You must update your computer to meet these minimum requirements before installing SAS Profitability Management. The major requirements listed in the document are Server requirements hardware and software Client requirements hardware and software For additional information, contact SAS Institute Technical Support. Sites in the U.S. and Canada may call (919) 677 8008. Other sites should contact their SAS Installation Representative or SAS Support Consultant for the nearest SAS Institute office. Server Requirements The number and size of models and their associated analysis cubes affects all factors of hardwarerelated performance. The applicability of a specific server platform is primarily dependent on data volumes. The minimum and preferred hardware platforms are estimations only. The minimum server configuration is required to operate the software and perform relatively small analyses. As data volumes increase, the processing times will increase as well. There may come a point where the server hardware must be upgraded for faster processing. Server Hardware Requirements Hardware This configuration is recommended for small-size transaction tables (up to 10 million transaction rows per period) and up to 10 report viewers. 1) Unified Server (X86, Power PC, HP Itanium, or Sparc): Two 2 GHz or more CPUs, 4GB RAM, 200GB of disk space (for models, transaction tables, and cubes) 1 This configuration is recommended for mediumsize transaction tables (up to 100 million transaction rows per period) and up to 50 report viewers. 2 1) Web Server (X86, X86-64,Power PC, HP Itanium, or Sparc): Two 2 GHz or more CPUs, 4GB RAM or more, 100GB of disk space 2) Metadata Server 3 (X86, X86-64, Power PC, HP Itanium, or Sparc): Two 2 GHz or more CPUs, 4GB RAM or more, 100GB of disk space 3) Workspace Server, OLAP Server and Transaction Assignment Server (X86, X86-64, Power PC, HP Itanium, or Sparc): Four 2 GHz or more CPUs, 8GB RAM, 800GB of disk space (preferably with an enhanced hard disk subsystem) 1 1
1 Calculating OLAP fact tables and cubes may require hundreds of gigabytes of additional disk space in some cases. The disk space estimates provided represent typical usage. The actual amount of disk space used by any particular installation will vary based upon the types and number of analyses performed. Please consult your sales executive or technical support for more information. 2 For larger transaction tables and/or a larger number of report viewers, please consult with SAS Technical Support. 3 For typical installations, the Metadata Server will be a shared computer amongst all installed SAS applications. It is not necessary that this server be dedicated to SAS Profitability Management.
